Butterfly Breathing Children's Breathwork

Reconnect with the true essence of your child by softening the world inside of you, gently like a butterfly.

This Breathwork Practice is a part of my 'Rooted Families' Nervous System Regulation Workbook.

Transcript

Butterfly Breathing Sit comfortably facing each other.

Close your eyes and place your hands on your own shoulders,

Crossing your arms over your chest like butterfly wings.

Take a deep breath in,

Feeling your chest rise,

Then slowly exhale.

Imagine your breath creating a gentle fluttering sensation,

Just like butterfly wings.

Together count to five as you inhale.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five.

And count to five as you exhale.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five.

Do this for a few minutes.

Discuss how the breathing made you feel and any sensations you notice.

This exercise helps to activate the vagus nerve through deep rhythmic breathing,

Promoting relaxation.
